Hmmm.....

Divine Command =/= Logic

Dale died on Doughnut Day last year.

His best whine:

Who in hell buys used shoes unless they’re shopping at Salvation Army Goodwill?

+1 Damn, beat me to it!

Somehow, he just doesn’t look quite natural.

I can certainly appreciate that cash is better than almost anything else you might receive. In reality, most of your friends and family will know your situation, and if you don’t register for stuff, you’ll get cash.

To answer a related question - the fossils that think it’s tacky are the ones with disposable cash stockpiles.

Whoa. How many crocks have you listened to?

I’ll bet it was fun.

I honestly don’t see how this can be disputed.

Holy Jesus! Where did you register for that gift that keeps on giving?

You can wish for something with all your might, but nice old Uncle Fester with the wad of CDs may never be comfortable with begging from anyone who’s not desperate.

Don’t worry about the judgy bitch? What if it’s your Aunt Flo with the fat bank account?

win-win!

No one’s going to complain. But if they do, you wanna cut off Aunt Millie and Uncle Frank? Think twice - they might cut you out of their wills!

I might add to that recipe - don’t go overboard on unnecessaries at your weddding. Your Aunt Millie won’t believe you need the money.

The people who follow those outdated social practices are the ones you’re trying to charm. Overtly begging from them is probably not going to do the trick.

That would be great advice if the dinosaurs weren’t the ones with the savings accounts.
